Austin Jackson should be healthy for the Dolphins' season opener at Indianapolis. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Jackson's situation after he was sidelined for weeks due to an injury sustained during practice. Jackson had a successful training camp before his injury, and his absence allows others to prove themselves. Offensive tackle Larry Borom stepped in during practice and impressed McDaniel. The team also auditioned five offensive tackles to strengthen depth. Jaelan Phillips was not seriously injured during practice, suffering only a bruise that will be monitored.
